Freya Lillie and Tiny Lives

I love reading inspiring stories and hearing about people who have gone through a difficult time yet used all of their strength to create something amazing. Michelle from Freya Lillie is one of those people. Her daughter Freya was born at only 29 weeks last year and mum and baby spent a long and difficult six weeks in Newcastle's RVI hospital.

Michelle not only documented her experience of premature labour here in order to help other families going through the same thing but also pledged from that moment to create a business that would help babies who were born prematurely and support the charity Tiny Lives who work to help premature and poorly babies who stay in the RVI's neonatal unit.

Freya Lillie

Freya Lillie are an online store specialising in organic products suitable for premature babies up to children aged 5.

Tiny Freya's 29 week old skin was extremely delicate when she was born and Michelle started to become particularly mindful over what exactly was going to touch her baby's skin and what these products were made of. Michelle found that products that were deemed suitable for sensitive skin still contained lots of chemicals which is the very thing she was trying to avoid. After lots of research, Michelle was converted to using organic products and her business idea was born. You can read more of the benefits in using organic products here.

Organic Clothing

You can purchase the most gorgeous organic clothing from the Freya Lillie website. Michelle spends a huge amount of time searching the globe for only the best quality clothing and organic ranges. I love that Michelle has ensured online shopping is as easy as possible with:-

Special Gifts

Freya Lillie is the perfect place to shop for that special gift. Their range spans from newborn to aged 5 and includes lots of gorgeous high quality items that will stand the test of time. We were sent this beautiful 100% organic cotton cable knit blanket for my soon-to-be-born niece or nephew. I absolutely love this and can't wait to see it keeping our family's new addition nice and snug.

We have nothing but praise for Michelle and the business she has created. It is clear she is passionate about providing only the best for premature and newborn babies and older children. We think Freya Lillie is going to be a huge success.

My mums best friend is finally going to be a Grandma! Over the years she has spoilt mine and my sisters children as though they were her own family and we really are grateful. We would love to give this to her first grandchild to show her how much we have appreciated all she has done for us. It would be the first of many treats to follow. 💜
